Fact of the matter is this guy has no say in what we do with are finances and really should mind his own business.
As for GOG, if he has a problem with valve then he should spend more time trying to figure out ways of stealing there customers instead of crying about it with trash like this.
-note to self, do not buy from GOG, they don't really care about there customers-I would rather learn my lesson on how to manage my money and spending habits from cheap games on steam then buying expensive products that i would never use.

"While we’re all prone to the odd impulse buy, even small purchases are usually accompanied by a little internal debate."
Haven't you ever heard of the women who go to malls and shop for sales to get more clothes then they could ever wear? Men do it too in their own way.
"Only the very rich or the truly stupid will just dish out cash, sight unseen, just because an item is 75% off."
Warren Buffet still lives in a house he bought for $31,500. Try getting richer than that.
Movie stars are a messed up category your talking about. Many of them are not truly rich as they spend it all BECAUSE of the life style.
There's a lot of so called normal people who will spend money willy-nilly during a sale. Walk into home depot if they had a 50% off store wide sale and you'd probably buy more than you would have.
On one of these gaming sites the writer said he bought almost every game on steam because of the sales. If you look in forums around the net you'll find people who bought games and they sit in their HUGH back catalog because of the sales.
However, devaluation is devaluation. Everything devalues. Faster is better for those who want it cheap although worse, but not necessarily so, for those who spend more.In all fairness I do think he has a point…

I buy games on GoG all the time for less than $3 so who is teaching buyers not to value games? Crazy sales on Steam give me a chance to catch up on games that I was somewhat interested in but I didn't want to pay $40 for. I buy them as extra games not as replacement for games that I would really want and I get to see more of the variety of what is out there.
The sales are also an excellent alternative to piracy.That is such a bull$#!^ argument. I buy games on GoG all the time for less than $3 so who is teaching buyers not to value games?
